How is a low-carbon culture enhanced in Nordic cities such as Helsinki, Copenhagen, Trondheim, and Malmö ?
What are the climate and economic benefits achieved by the various actions taken in the Nordics ? What barriers have these initiatives overcome?
What lessons have been learned and have keys to success been identified? How can we spread best practices from city to city?
Can we find a way to create new success stories together?
This workshop will focus on partnerships between Nordic cities, corporate and academic partners. We will hear about the issues from high level city representatives, climate strategists and city planners. Experts will then present cutting edge research, technologies and services to inspire a discussion in an afternoon workshop on matching these cutting edge innovations with real-life needs in Nordic cities and elsewhere.
The workshop is free of charge and includes a networking dinner at the venue.
